Where Water Heaters Leak in Coram
Dripping relief valve
A relief valve that drips or runs every day usually means a worn valve or too much pressure in the tank.
Leak at the drain spout
Plastic drain valves wear out. A new brass valve usually ends it.
Water from the tank body
Rust and water at the seam or base mean the tank has corroded through. That one gets replaced.
Tank seam or bottom leaking
Water from the steel tank itself, the one leak that means replacement.
Wet connections on top
Hot and cold connectors and nipples corrode or loosen, and the water runs down the side of the tank.
Drain valve weeping
The valve at the bottom drips from the spout or around its threads.
